sleeping environment. babies should also not have any stuffed animals in their sleeping environment. and they should be placed on their back. >> researchers attribute some unsafe behaviors to mixed messages such as availability of crib bedding and also to tired parents. >> it is probably on the part of pediatricians to get the word out a little bit more about sids dangers. we have a lot of generational things that have been passed down over and over and over that we have gotten comfortable with doing that maybe we shouldn't be doing. >> the study also found when infants were moved overnight, most often to a parents a's room, the new sleeping site generally was more dangerous. bed sharing is a risk fact for for sids and soft bedding and loose objects may cause suffocation by covering an infant's nose and mouth. >> dr. jon lapook. thank you. >> a gun scare sends passengers running for the exits. that's next. marco...! sì? polo! marco...! polo! scusa? ma io sono marco polo, ma... marco...! playing "marco polo" with marco polo? surprising. ragazzini, io sono marco polo. sì, sono qui...
